Abstract (en)
The invention relates to a planning device 2 for positioning treatment applicators 8. The device 2 comprises a providing unit 4 configured for providing a distance r to be considered between applicator entry points 10 and a processor 6. It has been found that when utilizing treatment applicators, in particular ablation treatment applicators, placing two or more applicators closely together increases the risk of ablating and damaging more tissue than required for the therapy success. By configuring the processor 6 to inactivating all entry points within a distance r from a currently selected entry point such that these entry points are unavailable to further optimization iterations, and then conducting a further optimization iteration, an optimal applicator configuration can be provided that is effective with regard to the therapy success while the risk of ablating more tissue than required is reduced.
